I have a 46-1203 which uses the same phono as the 46-1209 (78 only w/angled spindle). Thats something to keep in mind... if you find a 1203 for parts then your looking good! Besides, the 1203 is much smaller and liter when it comes to shipping! This phono uses a crystal cartridge which is never functional (that I've ever seen). There are some discussions threads about replacing this with different Astatic cartridges (with mixed results), and I saw one article on rebuilding the existing crystal cartridge (very time consuming). I figure I'll try rebuilding the one I have... I cant make it any worse! If that dosent work, then Ill start playing with replacement options. Just some thoughts I thought Id throw out there...
